Summary: Unknowing that Danny Phantom is trying to break free from Danny Fenton, Danny keeps getting these random attacks that he doesn't know the source of before it's too late.
Chapter 1: Symptoms
"Another Monday, another day closer to the end of school," Danny said, walking to school with his loyal friends.
It was close to the end of freshman year for the three. Final exams, projects and an English paper were the farthest things from Danny's mind. Summer was only a month away, and Danny's mind was already in summer mode. Sam was walking to the right of her best friend and was thinking to herself minding her own business. Tucker, being the techno-geek that he is, was playing tetris on his PDA.
School was coming around the bend, but within Danny, the ghost-portal-like barrier that separated Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom was weakening. Danny Phantom was patiently awaiting the total destruction of that single barrier. It was the opportunity that could separate the two completely. The opportunity that Danny Phantom always hoped for.
The trio entered the high school in calm spirits, each going to their respective lockers and getting the materials that they needed for the day. Mr. Lancer, scanning the halls like a radar, was walking near where Danny was, eyeing out his grammar book. He walked up to the boy and touched his shoulder.
"Good morning, Mr. Fenton. How are you today?" said he.
"I'm fine. A little worked, but fine," answered Danny. "Do you need something?"
"No." Mr. Lancer said, turning away. "Just reminding you that the first part of your English paper is due today. I trust you have that done?"
Danny picked up his backpack. "Yeah."
"Oh ok. I'll see you later, G!" said Lancer, continuing on his way.
Danny stared at the teacher in utter confusion as Tucker and Sam met him at the locker.
"Ok, Lancer was just talking to me and sounded really weird. Almost… normal." Danny said, dazed.
"That is weird. Normally he's either scolding you for something you didn't do… Speaking of which, did you really get the first part of your English paper done?" Sam said, looking at Danny accusingly.
"Err… no," Danny confessed. "I was too busy fighting ghosts last night to do it."
"Danny, you really need to set your priorities straight," Tucker said, putting something into his PDA. "Do I need to be your time manager again?"
A few moments of silence.
"The point is, Danny, you need to balance being a superhero and your studies," Sam said. "I'll help you with your English paper if you need it."
Sam had a slight blush mark on her face.
"Oh ok. Thanks, Sam. I owe you one," Danny said, blushing.
"Uh, guys. I'm right here." Tucker said, staring at the couple.
The "get-to-class" bell rang and the three went on their way to their respective classes. Tucker and Sam had English together. Tucker, science.
Soon P.E. was on Danny's schedule. And Mrs. Tetslaph wasn't going easy on either Tucker or Danny. Sam, on the other hand, was being a rather teacher's pet. Sam was whipping the boy's butts every which way for the upcoming fitness tests next week.
"Keep running, Danny. Tucker, my grandma can run faster than you! And she has a mobile chair!" she said just like a strict coach.
Danny and Tucker weren't enjoying Sam's shouts. They were annoyed. Really annoyed. Danny and Tucker were coming up on a hurdle, and they both jumped, but seeing as they were practically running on empty, just plopped on the ground taking the hurdle with them.
"I hate PE…" moaned Tucker.
"I hate PE more…" moaned Danny.
Sam picked up the megaphone in her hand and shouted, "PICK IT UP BOYS OR YOU'LL HAVE TO DO THREE MORE LAPS!"
The two moaned once more and shakily stood on their feet to complete the last 80 feet of track. Then they collapsed on the ground. Sam was impressed.
"Good work you two. You beat your last record by 3 seconds!" she said. "Usually you guys are a lot faster."
Sam walked away as the 'go-to-your-next-period' bell rang, leaving the two lying on the ground.
"Sam needs to be less harsh…" Tucker said, gingerly getting up from the cold ground.
"Yeah, no kidding…" Danny said, following Tucker.
Tucker and Danny went to change into their street clothes, and then to their next classes.
Danny was in Algebra I class, sleeping. As usual. No wonder he's bad at math. Danny felt a strange weakness feeling within his body, similar to when one chews bubble gum when the gum is full of flavor, then as time went on, the flavor decreases at a gradual rate. That was the barrier weakening. Weaker. Weaker. Weaker.
Then came an abrupt burst of lightening-like spikes.
Danny shot up and tried not to scream, but to no avail after 30 seconds. He screamed in pain. Thousands upon thousands of needle-like shocks were poking his delicate skin mercilessly, each passing second getting worse and worse.
Soon, he was doubled over on the floor.
His classmates stared in wonder what was afflicting him so badly. The teacher ran to her desk and flipped out her cell phone and called 911.
Soon, an ambulance was at the front of the school, and a team of doctors and nurses were filing out one by one in their traditional white outfits. They entered the school, put Danny on a stretcher, and left. His other two friends oblivious to what just happened.
The school day came to a close, and Tucker and Sam were outside the high school waiting for Danny.
"Where's Danny?" Tucker asked, looking at the schedule on his PDA. "He was supposed to be here a half hour ago."
"I'm getting worried…" stated Sam, resisting the urge to pace up and down the sidewalk.
Then Nathan came up to Danny's friends and greeted them.
"Hello. I couldn't help over hearing. Are you looking for Danny?" he said.
"Yes, do you know where he is?" Sam said.
"He's at the hospital. He was writhing on the floor during Algebra class. The doctors came and got him," Nathan said, a little worried himself. "I suggest you go visit him and see if he's ok…"
"The HOSPITAL?" the two said in unison.
Sam whipped out her cell phone and called for a limo.
As the limousine pulled up, Tucker turned towards Sam.
"Was this really necessary?" he questioned.
"Hey, I got the money. Why not?" Sam said, getting in.
Tucker just shrugged and filed in after Sam. After about 5 minutes, they were in the hospital room Danny was assigned to. Danny seemed content once his friends entered the cold, white room.
"Hey guys, what're you doing here?" Danny said,
"You! We heard about what happened. Are you alright?" Sam said.
"I'm fine. I have no idea were that attack came from. Frankly, I think there's more to come…" Danny answered.
"We're just glad you're ok, Danny," said Tucker, "We have your homework at you missed."
"Great. Set it over there." Danny said, gesturing to the side table.
As Tucker did this, Jack, Maddie, and Jazz came barging in the room.
"DANNY!" wailed Jack. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Dad," said Danny, trying to sit up a bit.
"What attacked you? You look like you've been electrocuted!" Jazz said, walking to the side of her brother, feeling his forehead. "You have a little fever."
"I don't know! One moment I'm just fine, the next I'm being shocked!" Danny blurted. "The doctors were confused on what happened since everything in my body is fine. It's a complete mystery."
"That is strange. And when there's strange it has to be a ghost…" Jack concluded, then turned to is wife. "Maddie, we have to scan the Algebra classroom for any ghost activity."
Maddie nodded in agree.
"TO THE FENTON GHOST ASSAULT VELICLE!" Maddie shouted, then she realized what she just said. "I mean the RV!"
The husband and wife bounced out of the room without a moment too soon, leaving Jazz, Tucker, Danny and Sam alone by themselves.
"You think Skulker is after you again?" Sam asked Danny.
"I don't think so… He's in the Ghost Zone," Danny answered.
"Technus?" Tucker questioned.
"Same." Danny answered
"Walker?" Jazz asked
"Reconstructing his prison in the Ghost Zone."
"Vlad?" Sam said, adding to the list of possible culprits.
"Wisconsin," Danny said. "But still a valid possibility."
Then, a nurse poked her head into the door and smiled.
"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over. You can come back after school tomorrow," she said.
"Oh ok. We'll be out in a second," Jazz said, then turned to her brother. "We'll try to get to the bottom of this, Danny. Don't you worry."
"Thanks Jazz," Danny said.
"We'll try too," Tucker and Sam said.
The three left. Danny thought about the events that happened that day.
"Well, one thing's for sure. There is definitely more to come…"
WEEEEEEEEEE! The first chappie is done! I hope you like it. Leave comments on your way out! See ya later!
